Darksiders II Delayed

The Darksiders II Website announces a shifted release date for the upcoming fantasy sequel, and the game is now expected in August (thanks Gamer's Hell). They have a Q&A about this development, which they describe as "great news" for the developers. Here's the announcement:

Once again we want to welcome you to the new Darksiders II website. Being a part of our community means you will be the first to know when new trailers, screenshots, announcements and updates around Darksiders II are released.

The rumor-mill has been churning with speculation recently, so we wanted to put it to rest first here with our core fans: Darksiders II will be moving to release globally in August 2012, rather than June as previously announced. Itís just a short delay, but we promise the game youíll have in August will be well worth the wait!

This is great news for the team at Vigil, because it allows additional time for polish and to ensure that all aspects of Darksiders II meet the high-quality bar the team is targeting. In game development, more time is always a good thing for quality and the Vigil team is dedicated to providing the definitive Darksiders experience.
